Articles imploring Rob Ford to step up to some ill-defined code of manhood do not help matters. It is not useful or accurate to frame honesty, accountability and “honour” as masculine traits, nor is it ever helpful to implore someone to “be a man.” Why not just “be a decent, trustworthy human being”? Why gender that? This kind of macho posturing only serves to validate idealized masculinity and reductive, binary understandings of how gender can and should influence identity. - Rob Ford and Toxic Masculinity by Steph Guthrie for Women in Toronto Politics witopoli/2013/11/08/rob-ford-and-toxic-masculinity/
